Newcastle expect to be without Nick Woltemade for Man Utd encounter

Newcastle expect to be without Nick Woltemade for Man Utd encounter

The German, usually a striker but recently deployed in midfield, played as a No. 10 behind winger Anthony Gordon in Newcastle's 3-2 home defeat to Everton, teaming up with fellow new recruit Yoane Wissa, who came off the bench.

Manager Eddie Howe also faces the continued absence of Tino Livramento, sidelined with a hamstring injury and having missed the last seven league games.

Another off-season signing, Jacob Ramsey, fell ill during the Everton match, vomiting at half-time, leaving Howe short of options in the squad.

"[There is] potentially a sickness in the squad, Nick Woltemade hasn't trained through illness, but we will give him every chance for tomorrow," Howe said on Tuesday.

"Tino Livramento is getting closer and closer, this game possibly comes too soon for him. We are desperate for him to become available."

Newcastle are struggling for form, sitting 13th in the Premier League and having won only one of their last seven league games.

With the team aiming to return to the top half of the table, Wednesday's fixture presents a challenging test.
